Abstract

The aged people’s problems are mainly classified into gerontology, as biological and psychological deformity. As people get older, their brain and nervous system go through natural changes. This decline in age progresses with the chronological age but is simply a number but the mental age is very much affected. These changes are well defined and measurable in the form of different neurological and cognitive deficits. The different old-age problems are mainly involved due to malfunction of brain structure and function. The different types of old age diseases are well classified and important with ageing. In this paper we will have an overview of the new concept between neuroscientific and psychological approaches to cognitive aging. We provide a selective review of brain imaging studies and their relevance to mechanisms of cognitive aging, how to be identified primarily as behavioral changes. The normal functional capacity if assumed at the age of 30 is taken as A100 %. Then there is a decline at the age of 60 years in all vital organs. With the increase in age, but after 60 years, special care is required. The neurobehavioral parameters are very much affected with the age in progress. The assessment of these cognitive functions may be a biomarker to be assessed for any mental deformities. Cognitive science plays a vital role in maintaining neurodegenerative disease as age increases. The objective of the article is to highlight the physiological and psychological variables for the preventive and curative aspects of ageing.
